Organic Arctic Snow Lavender (1 Gallon)

Organic Arctic Snow lavender

Arctic Snow lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Arctic Snow') is a certified-organic, potted perennial grown for white flower spikes, narrow gray-green leaves, and a compact, tidy outline. Its pale blossoms bring a useful contrast to purple lavenders in borders, rock gardens, pollinator plantings, and patio containers. This item is a live plant in a 1-gallon pot.

• Plant form: Certified-organic potted perennial, 1-gallon size
• USDA zones: 5–9
• Light: Full sun
• Flowers: Fragrant white spikes above aromatic foliage
• Pollination: A companion cultivar is not required; open flowers may attract bees and butterflies
• Soil: Fast-draining ground with modest fertility and good air circulation

Establishment and pruning

Transplant without burying the crown, keeping the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil. Water regularly through establishment, then shift to deeper, less frequent irrigation as roots develop. Lavender performs poorly in persistently wet ground, so use a raised bed or container where drainage is limited. Keep mulch and dense vegetation away from the woody crown.

Remove finished flower stems and lightly trim leafy growth to preserve a rounded form. Do not cut deeply into bare old wood. A container plant needs a drainage hole, a porous potting mix, and closer moisture checks during hot or windy weather. Winter container protection may be needed near the cold end of the listed range.

Garden pairing

Use Arctic Snow where white blooms can brighten mixed herb beds or echo pale flowers elsewhere in the landscape. Compare its compact English-lavender character with the taller violet-blue stems of Organic Provence Lavender and the deep purple spikes of Organic Fat Spike Grosso Lavender.
